re: WOW Chapter Meeting Notes - Nov. 2017

Welcome to the November WOW meeting. What exciting news we got from Blizzcon. The next expansion, Battle for Azeroth. It's not the direction that I was expecting, but going back to the roots of Warcraft sounds like an exciting direction. Also announced, the next Raid will be released November 28th. I'm looking forward to more news on the expansion in the coming months. What this means for STC, though, is that it's time to keep moving forward either with raiding, guild cooperative activities, and recruiting. We always want to build a stronger and cohesive group and that's certainly true as Legion moves towards it's completion.

As I've said in previous meetings, it's a good time to focus on achievements and working on Alts. I'm hoping to finish working on some reputation grinds as I continue working on my concordance levels. I hope that people continue to group for activities like random heroics and mythics as well as some of the greater invasion points.

Officer Induction:

None

Raiding:

The raid team has completed 9 of the 9 bosses in Normal Tomb of Sargeras. Kil'Jaeden is still not an easy kill but he goes down a bit easier now that we know the fight and have additional gear. We have also killed the first four bosses on heroic. After those first four, the bosses get much more difficult.

We're starting to see a little bit of fatigue of the current raid. The good news, though, is that the next one is released in a few weeks on November 28th. I'm looking forward to more research and fighting new bosses.

Please continue to make progress on your Artifacts. We are strongly requesting that all raiders have at least Concordance 15 on their artifacts to help meet the requirements the next raid. There are some catch up mechanics that should make this easier. Concordance levels will help also with Netherlight Crucible which will buff our players. It's important to keep working on Concordance if you want to participate in raids.

I would suggest attacking Greater Invasions as the gear drops can be major upgrades. I've seen Titanforged as high as 950 which will come in handy in the next raid. Using the in-game group finder makes finding groups for both the Lesser and Greater invasions easy.
